Hello,
this is to reply to one of the comments on the EmotionML that you sent
on 21 June [1], specifically:
ISSUE-192 Suggestion to use XML Schema's DateTime instead milliseconds
in EmotionML timestamps
The group has discussed the issue and proposes the following solution:
REJECT
The main reason for using the millisecond format is consistency with
other specifications produced by the multimodal interaction working
group, notably EMMA, which also uses the millisecond format to represent
time [2]. While we acknowledge the limitation that you point out, namely
that we cannot represent absolute times before 1970, we have to weigh
the various pros and cons here, and the group consensus is to weigh
consistency with EMMA higher than this use case.
Please let us know if you agree with this resolution within 14 days,
i.e. by 20 September. Should we not hear from you by that date, we will
consider this to represent implicit approval, but explicit feedback is
always better.
Thanks and best regards,
Marc
